Stayed one night in an inn in the snow mountain city. Early the next morning, Tian Xiaoding had breakfast and followed Li Tianliang and the others to the streets of Snow Mountain City.
The people of the Snow Mountain Sect, as Li Tianliang said, did not continue to send people to harass Xiao Ding and the others. It seems that Li Tianliang really got it right. Among the people from his sect who stayed to look after the family, there were no high-level monks, so they did not dare to come and provoke Xiao Ding and the others.
Everyone asked many shops selling elixirs or medicinal herbs on the street, and even shops selling flowers, but they still couldn't find the medicinal herbs or seeds that Li Tianliang wanted.
In those shops that sell medicinal herbs, the medicinal materials sold are dried herbs and cannot be taken back for planting. As for herb seeds, no one collects these at all. Even though the medicinal part of some herbs is the fruit, they are only dried fruits and cannot be planted.
Some precious and rare spiritual plants are not sold in ordinary stores at all.
Throughout the morning, everyone visited the shops on two streets. At noon, everyone gathered in the restaurant for dinner, and everyone looked disappointed.
In the afternoon, everyone dispersed to other streets and went to various shops to inquire.
The results of the inquiry were still the same as before, and there were no surprises.
Just before dusk, Xiao Ding was in a shop asking the boss about medicinal materials that could grow in winter.
Suddenly, a customer in this shop overheard the conversation between Xiao Ding and the boss, and curiously interrupted and asked: "Dare I ask this brother, are you looking for herbs that grow in winter?"
Xiao Ding turned around and saw that the customer was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He was dressed in ordinary clothes and had no cultivation. He should be an ordinary citizen.
"Yes, I am looking for this kind of medicinal herb. Do you know where it can be found?" Xiao Ding asked curiously.
"I don't know much about medicinal herbs, but I do have a plant at home that bloomed a few days ago. I don't know if this plant is a medicinal plant," the middle-aged customer answered honestly.
"Tea flower?" Xiao Ding was stunned. He immediately recalled in his mind that Master Chang Ling had told him that one of the main medicines of the Huanyang Pill used in the method of bringing people back to life was "Winter Blooming Snow Tea Mi".
Xiao Ding has now collected four of the five main medicines with Five Elements properties for refining the Huanyang Pill, but the only one missing is "Winter Blooming Snow Tea Mi" that he has yet to find.
Today, I suddenly heard that there was a flower blooming in this customer's home, which made Xiao Ding feel very excited.
You know, it's winter now, and ordinary tangerine flowers bloom in summer and bear fruit in autumn. Where can I find tamarisk flowers blooming in winter?
Therefore, Xiao Ding concluded that since the blooming tea flowers in this customer's home can bloom in winter, they must not be ordinary tea flowers. There is a high probability that they are the snow tea flowers that they are looking for.
Xiao Ding immediately paid attention to this and said quickly: "Since you have this kind of winter-blooming tea flower at home, I wonder if I can lead you to take a look at it?"
Seeing that Xiao Ding was indeed interested, the middle-aged customer invited him frankly: "Since I'm interested in my flowers, you might as well come with me to have a look."
Seeing that this man was not a cultivator, Xiao Ding had no doubts, so he followed him towards the north of the city.
Because in the afternoon, everyone was scattered on different streets in order to improve efficiency. Therefore, Xiao Ding is just on his own at this moment.
After walking for about half a stick of incense, the two came to a remote area in the north of Snow Mountain City.
When Xiao Ding saw that there were so few people here, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. However, when he saw that the person leading the way had no cultivation at all and didn't look nervous at all, he felt relieved. I couldn't help but laugh at myself in my heart: I would actually suspect a person who has no cultivation. Would I still be afraid of an ordinary person plotting against me?
Soon, the middle-aged customer took Xiao Ding into a large courtyard.
Xiao Ding will get through soon
Through his spiritual consciousness, he discovered that in the backyard of this courtyard, there was an artificial flower bed, and a thick layer of white snow had already accumulated in the flower bed. And among the white snow, there was a tea plant full of white flowers growing proudly.
While discovering the blooming tea flowers in the backyard, Xiao Ding's consciousness also discovered that in several hidden corners of the front yard, there were actually five people in white from the Snow Mountain Sect hiding. These five people were all foundation-building monks, among whom Two of them were the people he had saved from the Sword Demon and the Crazy Demon before.
Xiao Ding frowned, glanced at the middle-aged customer leading the way, and thought to himself, he didn't expect this kid to actually collude with people from the Snow Mountain Sect to set a trap for him!
For the monks in the early stage of foundation building, Xiao Ding was not too afraid of fighting alone. With his current level of cultivation at the 27th level of qi training, he can still fight against late-stage foundation-building monks even without using his various winning methods. If he uses all his winning methods, even ordinary Golden Core monks can win.
However, there were five foundation-building monks on the other side, and Xiao Ding felt that he still needed to pay attention to them.
At this time, Xiao Ding had followed the middle-aged customer to the center of the courtyard. Now that he had discovered the man in white hiding in the courtyard, Xiao Ding simply stopped pretending. Instead, he shouted loudly to several corners of the courtyard: "Since you guys have been prepared for a long time, then... Come out together, don’t you just want to lure me into your ambush?”
When the five men in white saw that their whereabouts had been discovered by Xiao Ding, they all jumped out and surrounded Xiao Ding. The middle-aged man who led the way quickly ran from the front yard into the middle yard.
Xiao Ding glanced at the five men in white who surrounded him, and said coldly: "Are they just here for me when they set up such a trap?"
One of the people in white put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look and said: "Since we already know that you are the female agent who colludes with the demon clan and the monster clan, our Snow Mountain Sect, as a member of the Cultivation Alliance, will not You are allowed to roam freely and harm your colleagues. So, don’t even think about leaving this courtyard today.”
In the eyes of the people in white clothes of the Snow Mountain Sect, Xiao Ding is just a monk practicing Qi Dzogchen, so they have enough confidence to look down on Xiao Ding today.
Xiao Ding snorted disdainfully. What he was thinking about at this moment was that after everyone dispersed in the afternoon, he was deceived here and fell into the opponent's trap. What about everyone else? Will the Snow Mountain Sect also use the same method to deceive others?
However, Xiao Ding thought about it again and was no longer so worried. This was because Ouyang Qing and Ah Li were extremely powerful, so he would not worry. With their strength, even if everyone from the Snow Mountain Sect left in the city besieged them, they might not be able to defeat them.
As for Li Tianliang, Deng Feng, Shan Tong, and Lu Teng, they are all veterans after all and will not be fooled easily. And besides Lu Teng, Li Tianliang and the other three are also at the Dzogchen Qi level. In order to destroy themselves, the Snow Mountain Sect has sent five Foundation Establishment Stage monks over. Presumably there will not be a few Foundation Establishment Stage monks among the remaining people in their sect.
Some monks in the Qi training period may not be able to take advantage if they go to fight with Li Tianliang and others.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ding couldn't help but said with some contempt: "Is there no one in your Snow Mountain Sect? Why don't you send a few masters here? You just want to come and kill me? It's just a dream!"
Hearing what Xiao Ding said, the five men in white all laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you, a young monk in the Qi training stage, dare to say such arrogant words! Anyone here can kill you , the reason why we come together is because we are afraid that you will run away if you can't fight. So, don't think about running away today, hahaha!"
Seeing that the other party didn't take him seriously, Xiao Ding smiled lightly and said, "Since I've been ambushed by you, there's no need to say any more nonsense. Let's go together."
After saying that, Xiao Ding had a thought and held out his weapon - the earth fire mace, hanging above his head.
Seeing this, the five men in white immediately used their flying swords.
Without waiting for the man in white to attack, Xiao Ding took the lead in using the mace to launch the first move of the Vajra Rod Technique: a slap on the head.
moment
, the earth fire mace flew into the air, quickly grew in size, until it was as big as a big tree, then it fell from the sky with the earth fire wrapped around it, and hit the five men in white who besieged him.
Such a huge thing, with blazing fire wrapped around it, is not something that ordinary monks can bear. Even though the five men in white were all Foundation Establishment monks, they did not dare to be careless.
So they jumped away and fled.
The mace hit the center of the courtyard hard, and with a "boom", a big hole was made in the ground paved with bluestones. The formation of the five men in white surrounding Xiao Ding has also been destroyed.
Xiao Ding jumped back and dodged the flying swords attacked by several men in white. At the same time, Xiao Ding took out a copper bell instrument from the jade pendant space and covered it around himself.
Xiao Ding couldn't remember who got this bronze bell instrument. There are many magical weapons or magic weapons like this in his jade pendant space, which he got from the high-level monks he killed before.
Xiao Ding rarely used these magic weapons or magic weapons before, because most of the time, he could completely cope with it by using his own winning methods.
However, today was a little different. Facing five foundation-building monks at the same time, he didn't plan to use his ultimate trick. If he fought slowly, he would definitely need to be well defensive. Although the robe he was wearing also had a certain defensive effect, it still seemed a little thin. If the five foundation-building monks attacked together, their own robes would probably be difficult to withstand.
So, Xiao Ding took out this golden bell magic weapon. In fact, he had never used it before, and he didn't know whether it was easy to use or not.
Next, Xiao Ding used the mace again and used the second move of the Diamond Rod Technique: rain of sticks from the sky.
This move is a large-scale attack move.
After the earth-fire mace flew into the air, it instantly turned into hundreds or thousands of small maces, which were also wrapped in fire. Like raindrops, they fell densely from the sky and hit the five men in white in the courtyard.
The five men in white had never seen such a powerful move before. They never imagined that a monk in the Qi training period could actually use such a magical power.
However, seeing the small maces falling from the sky, they had nowhere to hide, so they had no choice but to carry them. So those who had defensive magic weapons immediately used them, and those who did not have defensive magic weapons were immediately thrown out of their bodies. Condensing a layer of spiritual energy defense shield, and at the same time using the flying sword to strike into the air to resist the small mace that landed.
